l l yApplication filed February 197. ,Serial No.- 359,680??? Tov all whom it may v'concer/n:

Be it known that ALsrNEUs JUDsoN lime, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invent-ed certain new and useful mproveinents in Enthe following lis a specifica l v elops, of which tion. j

This invention relates to improvements in envelops, more particularly double lenvelops,

lor those having two pockets or receptacles,

and has for its object to simplify and improve the construction and increase the etii-s ciency and utility of devices of this' gharacter.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereafter shown and described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

. In the drawings forming part of this ap plicat-ion is shown the preferred form of the embodiment of the invention illustrating the same in practical operation, and in the drawings thus employed: Figure l is a view of the blank from which the envelop is constructed, or folded into the required shape. Fig. 2 is-a view of the envelop partly folded, or disposed in condition for receiving the first coin or other object. Fig. 3 is a viewv of the envelop as it will' appear after having received the rstf coin and in position to receive the second 'coin Fig. 4L is a view of the envelop in closed position after having the objects deposited in both of its pockets;

The envelop is .constructed from a single sheet" of paper represented in its unfolded position in Fig.' l, comprising a double body portion designated respectively 10--l1, with side flaps 12-13 and end iiapsll-l-. The sheet of paper thus formed is folded centrally along the line iti-16, while the flaps 121-13 are adapted to be folded along the dotted lines 17-18, the envelop being pro-- vided with apertures 19)-20 where the lines 6-17 and 1(318 cross each other, to facilitate the folding. Each of the openings or apertures l9-20 square, and said openings 19-90 are so disposed that one-half of the opening is positioned upon .a side flap and the other half upon the bodyportion.

r'he flap l2 is gummed along its outer edge as indicated at 2l, while the end flaps 14--15 are gummed as represented at 22-23 In constructing the envelop the flap -13 is folded along the line 18-18 and trans` An Alf' i folded along the line 1?-17 and transversely of the aperture 1 9 and the gunnned portion Qlsecured in the usual manner upon the adjacent surface of the lap 13, the flap l2` being of -sutliciently greater width than the flap 13 to enable it to overlap the latter.

One of the end flaps 14 or 15 is then folded over upon the overlapping flaps 1:2-13 and secured in place by sealing. The envelop is now in condition to receive its contents, as represented in Fig. 2. The apertures 19-20 material-ly facilitate the folding, and prevent the wrinkling or buckling of the paper at the corners where folded. A coin or other ob ject is then deposited in the envelop at the unsealed end and permitted to pass into the 'body portion covered by the previously sealed end 14 or 15 as the case may be. The envelop is then again folded centrally upon itself along the line between the pockets 1.9-20 or along the line it-16, and caused to assume the position shown in Fig. 3. The envelop is then in condition for receiving the second coin which is inserted through the unsealed end la or l5 as the case may be, and the latter then sealed over the adjacent portion of the folded body, as 'represented in F si, to complete the structure.

By this simple means, -a very complete,

compact, and useful article is produced, conarate and distinct. pockets,

taining two sep preserving their-contents from becoming commingled, or interfering with each other,

:while at the same time theenvelop may be "quickly opened by severing it at one point only, either at the last sealed end, or along the line l6-l6 dividing the two portions or pockets.

The envelop may be made of any size, or of anysuitable material, and may be employed for a variety of purposes, where it is desired to maintaiirtwo coinsor other objects iii separate condition.

Having thus describedthe invention, what is claimed as new, is zi An envelop blank foldable to provide two independent pockets access to each of which pockets is envelop, and comprising a rectangular body side flaps integral with the bodyand fold-v able thereon, end flaps integral with the body and foldable one onto the side flaps after the latter have been folded and the other onto the reverse side ofthe body to that against which the side flaps fold, `the had from the same end of the.
